They were big. They were bold. They were bewitching.

And, boy, were they beautiful.

The FC Barcelona strikers, Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi — in that order — delivered a pair of gargantuan first-half goals on Wednesday night to lead Barça to a 2–1 victory at Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals (Highlights below, Match Report).
